Ok everyone... I was sleeved on Nov 12th, and weighed 240.

My first week I lost 10 pds and my second another 10... Which was Awesome!!!

But since then "0" WTFudge is going on! :-(

This is my sample menu:

B: 1 EGG OR 5OZ Protein shake

L: 4 SHRIMP OR 2OZ TUNA

D: 2OZ SALMON OR 1/4 CRAB meat

SNACK: cheese STICK OR 5OZ Protein Shake

I'm tracking my calories and I am under 300 - 350 max.

What is wrong???

Anyone else struggling???

Is this normal???

Im eating about 700 cals a day now, sometimes 800 if I work out or really starving (RARE)

Have you ever done Weight Watchers? I eat like I did on WW. In other words, low fat, low sugar, low sodium and of course HIGH PROTEIN!

You really need to track your food, accountability is the key to success/ Feel free to friend me on MFP - melbogg

How do you do with salad? I wasn't sure if I should try lettuce yet?

I havent tried salad yet, seems like it would take up too much tummy space without enough nutrition. Although a crisp salad sounds so good!!!

I have done ww before, several times. I think I focus more on protein than anything else well and keeping my sugar intake low but I will try getting back on Mfp. I will add you as a friend as well. Thanks. I am jaelisa on Mfp.

I was sleeved Nov 1st and have lost 34lbs since surgery and 51 total. I work out, get my protein, low carbs and drink plenty of water and compared to some, I'd be considered a " slow" loser. Although I'd love for it to melt off of me, I am grateful for what has come off. I know that I would never have gotten this far without surgery. Along with everything I'm learning lately, being patient is the hardest.

I've had a few bites of salad. It has been fine- lettuce is almost all water so it doesn't take up much space. I've only had it 3-4 times. And only 2-3 bites each time

your sleeve allows for 2 eggs at once??? I can barely choke down 1

I have a problem with boiled eggs too. Which is odd because I can eat most other things.

How are all the November sleevers doing???

My weight came to a standstill this month...but I did eat a lot of chocolate covered valentines strawberries! I have about 23lbs. to go so I guess I can't complain..I'm going to try to get 5lbs off in the remaining 8 days of this month but don't think I can do that since I've been averaging 7-8 lbs for a month.

I'm done 55 lbs I want to lose about 25 more. Came to a standstill for a bit, but it didn't last. I feel good and am so happy I've come this far.

**Down

Surgery Nov 1st

Starting weight 266

Day Of Surgery 249

Today 199

I finally made it to onelander. Its been 16 years! Life is good

I'm also at a standstill. To have a bmi that's not obese I need to lose 70 more lbs. I believe I started out heavier then others. I'm still having trouble getting liquids in. Which is shocking for me because I used to drink 80 ounces before surgery.

It's weird that there are some things I can eat more of,than others. For example I can usually only eat 1 taco, yet I can eat 18+ mini rice cakes (130 cal.) with no problem. The sweet chili ones are unfortunately my weakness. You would think I wouldn't be able to eat many of the rice cakes.

I had my sleeve on feb 12 and weighed 625lbs it's been a week now and I weighed 592lbs this morning

OMG... Weight gain

So I'm 3 months post op and was told by my Dr to increase my calories from 500 to 700-800 per day... And within 4 days I've gained almost 3 pds

I track my food... Drink 5 16oz water bottles daily and aim for 50-80g of protein... Oh and I walk or do Zumba at least 5 days a week.

What's up???!!!???!!!
